Juventus v Atalanta | Expected Lineup

Juventus return to Serie A action on Sunday as they welcome Atalanta to the Allianz Stadium on Matchday 5. Ahead of what promises to be an important encounter, here are the key statistics and facts to know before kick-off.

Atalanta have lost 67 Serie A matches against Juventus, with only Inter inflicting more defeats on La Dea in the competition, with 71.

Interestingly, the most common result in the history of this fixture is a goalless draw. Juventus and Atalanta have finished 0-0 on 19 occasions in Serie A, with the most recent coming in October 2023.

Juventus have also been particularly solid defensively at the start of the season. They have faced just 28 shots so far — the fewest of any team in Serie A. Atalanta, meanwhile, have conceded 82 shots, the highest total in the league.

Kolo Muani, Nico González and Atalanta’s Warning Signs

Randal Kolo Muani is approaching a personal milestone. The Juventus forward has made 199 appearances across Europe’s five major leagues, scoring 54 goals and providing 28 assists. One more appearance will take him to 200.

Nico González has also enjoyed productive numbers against Atalanta. In seven Serie A appearances against La Dea, the Argentine has been directly involved in three goals, scoring once and registering two assists.

Atalanta arrive in Turin looking to end a difficult run of form, having lost their last two Serie A matches, both by a 2-1 scoreline. They have not suffered three consecutive league defeats under the same coach since March-April 2025, when Gian Piero Gasperini was in charge.

Their away record is another concern. Atalanta lost their most recent league match on the road and have not suffered consecutive away defeats in Serie A since November-December 2025, when they lost three straight away games under Ivan Juric and Raffaele Palladino.

Finally, Raoul Bellanova is on the verge of reaching 150 Serie A appearances. Since the 2019/20 season, only two defenders born in 2000 have reached that mark in the Italian top flight: Andrea Cambiaso and Pierre Kalulu.
